Chapter 93 Auspicious Purple Qi Comes from the East, Entrusting a "Human Escort"
Autumn has passed and winter has come; May has already passed in the blink of an eye.
This year's winter snow came rather suddenly, with heavy snow blocking the mountains for two consecutive days, making the mountain roads muddy and slippery, and the peaks covered in white.
Despite the terrible weather, it did not deter people from making pilgrimages to the mountains.
They walked in groups of three or five on the mountain path, with ropes around their waists, and the later ones followed in the footsteps of the earlier ones.
These signs had already appeared a month ago, perhaps as a way of expressing gratitude, seeking a master, or asking for help.
The reason why Mount Hua is now more important in Shaanxi and Guanzhong is entirely due to the disciples going down the mountain to gain experience.
Whether accompanying a镖 (armed escort) or eliminating evil spirits and villains, one can witness bloodshed and gain insight into the world of martial arts.
This matter was originally planned by Li Che and Lao Yue, but they did not expect that Li Che would become famous so quickly.
So... after taking a two-month break, Lao Yue got busy again.
Regarding martial arts, Li Che's personally compiled booklet has already stated that the sword techniques of the other four mountains will not be mentioned for the time being, and the lost sword techniques of Mount Hua will be taught to disciples as they progress.
Old Yue readily agreed.
Just as he said that day, Mount Hua is no longer the Mount Hua of yesterday.
However, Lao Yue no longer wants to be the Lao Yue of the past.
Having just seen off the guests, Old Yue looked up to the west, sighed, and unconsciously began to think about stepping down and handing over the reins to a more capable person.
With his gaze fixed on the summit of Lotus Peak, Li Che had shut down his six senses and was oblivious to the bustling activity at Jade Maiden Peak.
The surroundings were all white, but within a three-foot radius of the flat stone where he sat cross-legged, there was not a trace of snow or rain.
The mountaintop was cold and steep, yet he was still dressed in a single garment, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if he was enveloped in a thick layer of purple mist.
Heat rose from the top of his head, and his face was filled with purple aura, but his consciousness had already retreated into the Niwan point.
The suspended ice jade has changed again.
Previously, when I performed the ritual to obtain the rosy light, and now it flows purple, it all vanishes in a flash.
However, at this moment, purple patterns seemed to flow across the jade body, like living water, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
It won't break, will it?!
Li Che thought with some concern.
In an instant, purple energy rose from the dantian and flowed slowly along the belt meridian.
Li Che clearly felt that he grew stronger with each rotation.
His face had gradually turned a deep purple.
This is a harbinger of the arrival of purple aura from the east after the completion of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill!
Breaking through the meridians and acupoints is inherently dangerous; if one's mind is not stable, it is difficult to guarantee that one will not suffer from qi deviation and demonic possession.
Li Che's actions should have been supported by his seniors in the sect.
However, based on his current knowledge, he can roughly deduce that Lao Yue's Zixia Divine Skill has not yet reached this level!
Furthermore, he has...
As the true qi in his dantian accumulated and thickened, reaching its limit, Li Che guided the qi upwards into the Ren meridian.
Like boiling magma, it passes through the Guanyuan, Qihai, and Juque acupoints.
In a short while, Li Che's forehead was covered in sweat, and his veins were starting to show.
The Ren and Du meridians can carry Qi, but carrying Qi and connecting all the acupoints of the meridians are two different things.
The true energy of the purple clouds lingered briefly in the chest, then condensed into a stream and surged upwards.
The Xuanji and Tiantu meridians connect and rush to the Baihui point on the top of the head.
In an instant, Li Che felt a surge of heat rush into his mind, his ears rang, and a brilliant purple light shone before his eyes.
Purple aura soared into the sky, and the Ren meridian was opened.
But his strength was exhausted, and it was difficult to transfer the energy from Baihui point to the Du meridian.
Li Che hesitated for a moment, then focused his energy in his dantian. If he forced it, he feared that it would create inner demons and damage his foundation.
Even so, the purple aura around him was already quite dense, extending to nearly two inches outside his body.
A moment later, Li Che finished his practice and stood up, feeling a sense of clarity in his mind, and also feeling that the cold wind on the mountain was warmer than before.
The purple threads of the mudball ice jade have disappeared, but its crystal-clear appearance is tinged with a faint purple.
He tried again to circulate his energy in his dantian, but the ice and jade remained unchanged.
However, his complexion changed quite a bit.
Li Che stared at the silhouette projected onto the icicles on the tree branches, his lips twitching repeatedly. He thought to himself, "The purple aura seems to have deepened further. I wonder what it will be like when it fully connects the Ren and Du meridians. If it gets even stronger... it won't end up like this..., will it...?"
After a moment of stunned silence, he thought, "Thinking about it this way, it was absolutely the right thing to do to spare Feng Buping's life."
Mount Hua is divided into two sects: Sword and Qi, but to the outside world, they all belong to Mount Hua.
The combination of sword energy and spiritual energy is the path that Mount Hua should take.
Even with the help of others, it took several months to make any progress; the Zixia Divine Skill is indeed very difficult to master.
Is there room for improvement in Huashan Hunyuan Gong?
Or perhaps external forces are involved?
That's difficult. Mount Hua isn't short of money these days, but medicinal baths aren't something everyone can afford.
Upon realizing this, Li Che was suddenly startled. Didn't the Five Poisons Sect have a "Five Immortals Tonic Wine"?
I still remember what the original text said: drinking this wine can prevent all diseases, protect against all poisons, and suddenly increase one's internal energy by more than ten years.
This is great stuff!
This item belongs to Mount Hua!
"Senior Brother Li—!"
He called out to Senior Brother Li, who then embraced him like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest.
I still remember the first time I held her, the little brat was so shy.
There was no one on the cliff, and this continued for several days. As a result, they grew bolder, and over the months it became a habit.
Little did they know that this girl would be quite daring after descending the cliff.
"Why is it so late?"
Yue Lingshan pressed her forehead against his right shoulder and murmured softly, "Father asked me to inform you in advance that you're leaving the pass. He said we'll have to set off for Hengyang in about ten days to half a month."
This is great! We, the brothers and sisters, can go together. I've never been on a long trip before...
'
Seeing her expectant expression, Li Che thought to himself, "This event in Hengyang is bound to be very lively!"
"Let's go, we'll head down the mountain now."
"Oh? Your martial arts have improved again? Father said there's no need to rush. By the way..."
'
The cheers faded into the distance, leaving only a giant fir with broken bark and a flat stone that had already begun to gleam.
"Lingshan, who's handling things with the Fuwei Escort Agency right now?"
"It used to be Senior Brother Liang Fa, now it's Senior Brother Lu's turn."
"Are Junior Brother Linghu, Junior Brother Lu, and Junior Brother Lin on the mountain?" Seeing her nod, Li Che continued, "I'll go see Master and Mistress first. Go and inform them that I have important matters to discuss with them later!"
There are things one should not do.
When Li Che arrived, he saw his father-in-law in the courtyard, fiddling with a pot of stone flowers.
The master's wife, Ning Zhongze, taught the disciples swordsmanship in the front courtyard, while the master cultivated his mind and character in the back courtyard.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed a book tucked behind my back in my left hand, and steam rising from a tea table not far away—it must be freshly brewed tea.
"Che'er, you've emerged from seclusion?"
Old Yue didn't even raise his head, let alone mention whether his internal strength had improved, which was quite strange.
"Master, what's wrong...?"
"Ah~ The affairs of the sect are so complicated. I've been busy for months, and I've only managed to steal half a day of leisure. It's good that you're back. You set the strategy, so you should do it yourself."
However, there's no need to rush the practice.
Looking back, I realize that Che'er, your progress in such a short period has been too rapid. You should solidify your foundation, calm your mind, and not force things.
Li Che felt increasingly uneasy. When did Lao Yue become so Buddhist?
Yes, after meeting Master Feng!
That's going too far, Lao Yue!
"Disciple...will humbly follow Master's teachings!"
"Yes, Shan'er already told you, right? Before you leave, go see your Uncle Feng and that old man at the Cliff of Contemplation, lest he get any other ideas."
"Disciple understands!"
"Alright, go ahead and get busy. There are many things in the sect that need your attention."
Li Che:
After leaving the Suoyoubuwei Pavilion, they turned and went to the side hall.
The door was tightly closed, and the four brothers huddled together.
"Junior Brother Lin, does the Fuwei Escort Agency have any branches near Hengyang?"
"Yes! But it just opened a month ago."
Li Che understood. Lin Zhennan was quick-witted; he wanted to use the escort agency as informants, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect needed to have its own people in its location.
"Are people trustworthy?"
Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, they are all veterans from the General Administration."
"Alright! Please write a letter saying that Li Che of Huashan wants to entrust the Fuwei Escort Agency with a shipment of goods. A human escort!"
